@AdamStuartSmith yes! But it will only show up if the post you added it to has likes or shares. That said, it will not work on the frontage, only on singular posts.
@pfefferle A question about the trouble shooting note in the instructions: "Make sure you've created and saved the template part in the Site Editor". Is the "Site Editor" this interface shown in the screenshot below (I get there via Appearance >Patterns)? I think it is, because part of the url says site-editor.php, but that's not obvious at all. And if it is the Site Editor, that's the saved template part above post_footer, right? Looks setup correctly?
@pfefferle I also added the php snippet to the post template as per the final step. But no block appears on the front end. I put a little test <p>position for fediverse block</p> alongside the php snippet and that appears on the front end, so the location is correct.
So, no idea what I'm doing wrong, I've double checked every step. The site I'm trying to set it up on is https://monstertoyblog.com
@pfefferle So, I created the parts folder containing the html file as suggested. There's still no Templates Parts menu option immediately under Appearance, but if I go to Patterns, there are now options 'All Template Parts' and 'General'. This matches the screenshot in the instructions, but differs to the text in your instructions. Instruction say Appearance > Editor > Template Parts; but (for me at least) it is Appearance > Patterns).
@pfefferle No, because the first step apparently hasn't worked, so I didn't move onto the next step. More likely, I'm misunderstanding the instructions. Are you saying the Template Parts option in the admin under Appearance will only appear if I create a parts folder (with e.g. FTP), and put the specified html file in it (with e.g. FTP)?
@pfefferle I seem to have stumbled at the first hurdle.
"After adding this code, you'll see a Template Parts option in your WordPress admin under Appearance."
But I don't. I added the new function to a couple of blogs with no apparent change to the Appearance menu. There is a Patterns option but that was already there. Is that the same thing as Template Parts?
Hello I noticed that under my defcon account I can sometimes see no posts at all from other users of other servers and fewer from some other users, even if they are not blocked or muted. But from a Mastodon account I can see their posts. I can imagine that many users of other servers don't see my posts either, which would explain why the reactions (likes and boosts) to my posts are quite sparse. Is this a known problem and can it be fixed?
I could use some #FediHelp with some website traffic weirdness I have encountered.I use a #WordPress blog with the #ActivityPub plugin. This means that I get #Fediverse -based requests that look like this in the #Apache logs:"POST /wp-json/activitypub/1.0/actors/1/inbox HTTP/1.1"So far, so unspectacular. In the latest logs - spanning from 20/Nov/2025:01:49:32 to 21/Nov/2025:05:49:47 - I've had 2046 such requests. Most of these are one-time affairs.However, 1099 of these requests are from mastodon.sdf.org , which is very suspicious. They are very evenly spread, too - a new request comes every minute or two.This instance is on #Mastodon 4.1.25. Does this version have a known bug where it sends the same request over and over again?@SDF
It seems Peertube is sending me Update activities every few hours on the hour (or rather, on the 7s or 37s), with no changes.
Any idea what this is about? Perhaps view counters updating? Seems a tad noisy.

I'm thrilled about the launch of @altstore's support for ActivityPub. Welcome to the fediverse! This integration will enable you to follow updates from your favorite apps and their developers right here on your fediverse timeline. You can see their server's local timeline here, to get an idea of what that looks like: https://explore.alt.store/public/localTo me, this represents an innovative and exciting new way to spread the social web to new and different kinds of apps and services. What should we make social next??And a heartfelt thank you from the @Mastodon team to AltStore for their generous donation 💞https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/07/alternative-app-store-altstore-raises-6m-connects-with-the-fediverse/#Mastodon #Fediverse #ActivityPub
